DUELLING FIENDS.
They Quarrel, Fight and Prove
Execr0ble Shots.

New ORLEANS, La, February 90
Emile Rivoria, manager, and Andri L.
Roman, editor, of the French evening
paper, Trait dUniom, left this morning
for Jefferson Parish, where they met on
the field of honor. The weapons used
were ordinary duelling pistols, and the
distance fifteen PAGES. After exchang.
ing two shots each, without bloodahed,
the seconds interposed and the hostili.
ties came to an end. 1t appears that
there has been some misunderstanding
regarding the management of the paper
and the duel was a result of the disa.
sreement.

Yhe Catholic Interests of Amer

ROME, February 20.--Cardinal Glib
bons has been very busy since his ar
rival here. No definite information
regarding the business of the propa'
ganda is known, bat it is certain thatt
great questions touching the Catholic
interests in America will be considered
carefully. Cardinal Gibbons is expected
to express his opinion on all questions
submitted for his views, because OF his
great acquaintance with he present
American question and his strong love
of American institutions. 1t is difficult
to believe that the conclusion reached
will be of an unfavorable character.
Time is still required for settlements of
Cardinals in lcuria. Bishops Scarra, OF
Melbourne, and Keane, of Richmond,
Va, congratulated the Pope in the Vat.

of his Pontihcate. The Pope, in his
discourse, described the Baltimore Coun.
Gil as an honor to America and the whole

Had mo- Australian Rabbits ON
Hoard.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 20.-The
steamer Zsalandia arrived this morning
from Australia and was Immediately
boarded by Deputy Collector Fogarty
for the purpose of searching the vessel
for Australian rabbits, which, it was re.
ported, she would bring to this port.
These rabbits are a terrible pest in Aus

rapidily and destroy all vegetation. 1t
was feared that if these animals were
allowed to land they would make sad
havoc with fr4it trees, vines and wheat
fields. The Legislature of the State,

ton authorizing the immediate killing of
rabbits on their arrival and further &C.
tion in the matter is plated.
Deputy Collector Fogarty searched the
